GeoNetwork is a catalog application to manage spatially referenced resources.
It provides powerful metadata editing and search functions as well as an
interactive web map viewer.
It is currently used in numerous Spatial Data Infrastructure initiatives across the world.

GeoNetwork provides an easy to use web interface to search geospatial data
across multiple catalogs. The search provides full-text search as well as
faceted search on keywords, resource types, organizations, scale, ... Users
can easily refine the search and quickly gets to the records of interests.

GeoSpatial layers, but also services, maps or even non geographic datasets
can be described in the catalog. Easily navigate accross records and find
sources or services publishing a dataset.

The interactive map viewer based on OpenLayers 3
provides access to OGC services (WMS, WMTS) and standards (KML, OWS). Connected
to the catalog, users can easily find new services, layers and even dynamic maps
to combine them together. User maps can be annotated and printed and shared
with others.

GeoNetwork has been developed to connect spatial information communities and
their data using a modern architecture, which is at the same time powerful and low cost,
based on the principles of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and
International and Open Standards for services and protocols (a.o. from ISO/TC211 and OGC).

The GeoNetwork community has been expanding quickly over the last years.
The current release has been possible because of all those that contributed
to the project through code contributions, testing, bug reports and fixes as
well as many suggestions.

GeoNetwork is part of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation
(OSGeo, http://www.osgeo.org) software stack, providing software you can
trust tobe free, open and sustainable. Voluntary support is provided through
